1t is the opinion Of theologians and
lawyers and judges that as a rule wo-
men are truthful. Hence the public
rightfully attaches great value to the
testimony OF lady as to the effect OF
medicine.
Mrs. Mask is the wife Of one OF the
most prosperous and intelligent farmers
OF Alcora county, Miss, Edward Mask.
After suffering two years with an ulcer
that covered her left leg from the knee
to the foot, recently she has been cured.
Read what cured her:
GIFT P. o., MISS, Feb. l6, 1887.
Gentlemen-A year ago last fall a
sore broke out on my left leg below the
knee. 1t began to spread, and ruh un-
til my whole leg was covered. This con-
,tinued until last fall, when I began to
take Swift Specific. The physician told
me it would take about one dozen bot
ties; but when I had finished two bottles
my leg was we'll. While I suffered, l
also had chills regularly. These, too,
disappeared when the ulcer was healed
up. am truly grateful for the benefit
Ireceived from S. S. S., and both myself
and husband talk up your medicine to
all our friends.

Leaving Prosperity and going down
the Columbia road We first arrive at the
Mt.Tabor High School, of which Prof.
E. O. Counts is principal. This school
has been established only two years and
is now a fourishing institution. It is
in the centre of thickly settled COM
munity and is doing good work. Dur
ing part OF the year as many as three
teachers were employed. Leaving this
school, and going about seven miles far
ther down the country, we come to an
other high school, of which Il Mr.. Mitch
ell is principal. This school is in Lex
ington County, just across the boundary

CHAPPELLS.

Mr.. EDITOR : Our prince merchant,
Geo. T. Reid, has returned from pleas
ure trip to all the Northern points Of in
terest and gives glowing description
Of his trip, and says he had delightful
time, and We bet he did.
The health Of our community Is much
better than when we last wrote you.
Mr.. J. o. Holloway who has been
dangerously ill for several days we are
glad to know is much better.
The crops OF our community are very
good but a rain would be very ac-
ceptable.
One Of our young clerks, Billy R.
Reid, has given up the yard stick for this
year and is trying his hand farming,
and he has a very fine prospect for a
crop. We think Billy had better make
it a permanent vocation. He is reading
medicine. DR.. Gaggert, Jr., is furnish
ing him with books and advice.
We were invited by Mr.. G. N. Werts a
few afternoons since, TO walk over his
crop which we did, and we were fully
paid for our iaunt for he has the finest
| averaged crop we ever saw. He has
considerably over hundred acres in
cotton, large crop OF corn, peas, pota-
toes, molasses corn, &C., and it is all in
beautiful TX. We did not see in this
whole farm as much grass as We have
seen in two acres of cotton last year.
One can stand in the front door of his
neat little cottage and see plainly seventy
five or more acres OF beautiful cotton
and were We not afraid some would
not believed it we would say it will
nearly average half leg high. And
he has cultivsted this splendid crop
with four plows, but he has certainly
worked very hard and goes from early
morn till dewy eve.
We also saw q beautiful crop on MIR.
T. n. Neel's Higgins place managed by
that splendid young farmer, Charlie W.
| Sem.
We have heard the commencement OF
your college and schools spoken of by
several as being good, better, best.

TEACHERS DEPARTMENT.
ARTHUR IIBLER, EDITOR.
Three Things to be Known.

1t has been some time since q short
article on Corporal Punishment ap-
peared in the column. The use of the
hickory was once powerful instrument
in enforcing discipline. We do not pro-
pose, however, to discuss this question
here. Other means of punishment are
sometimes rcsorted to and we propose
to advise not what to do, but what not
to do.
In the first place We would say that it
is necessary that the teacher learn to
govern himself before he undertakes to
govern others. If we cannot govern
one being, surely We cannot govern
many. We have known teachers in the
school room to become completely un-
manageable, so to speak, to shout out
their useless commands as if every child
in the school-room was deaf. Now what
effect does this method OF proceeding
have? The most ruinous. After while
the children pay no more attention to
the teachers roaring than they would to
any other meaningless noise. Ifthun-
der were continual it would excite no
more tarror than the noise OF a MILL"
Again, the teacher should not do any
thing that would cause the pupil to place
low estimate upon himself, that would
make him feel that he is not, or is not
to be man in the fullest sense of the
word. We read of an instance where
a boy was made to thrust his head up
the chimney and stand in the CRATE.
Then while standing ''in durance yile,"
to make bad worse, some of his associ-
ates, leaders in the offense, perhaps,
were invited to laugh at him when his
face appeared blackened with SCOT.
Anyone who would resort to this kind
of punishment is completely unfit for
the school-room. There was once what
is commonly known as the ''dunce cap''
in the school-room in some localities.
Sometimes this crown of dishonor was
placed upon the head of boy who could
not prepare his lessons. Unnecessary,
uncalled for humiliation. A teacher
should not strike boy as if he (the
teacher) wanted to fight. ii the teacher
wants to fight, he should give the boy
chance. Let him ask the boy on the
play ground where both will be on equal
terms. After teacher has struck pu-
pill with his fist or kicked him around
the room, he had better send his resig-
nation to the board of trustees and then
60 into some other business better suited
to his nature.
A teacher should not be continually
making threats and failing to put them
into execution. When he first enters
the school the tendency of the children
is to respect him; but after while they
lose confidence because he fails to do
what he says he will do. If there be
complete failure it is when the teacher
promises to do something and fails to
carry it out.
What we have said may be summed
up thus: 1. Govern yourself. 2. Re-
spect the pupils feelings, and do not
have them do anything of humiliating
nature. 8. Do what you say you will do.
II we will keep these three thoughts
prominent we will not have much trouble
| in teaching.

PROSPERITY.

The wheat crop is falling below the
average.
The Sunday School room attached to
Grace Church is completed and re-
ceived.
The skaters are now putting the roof
on the new depot OF the C. & G. Rail
road company. =
Gardens are needing rain badly. The
intense heat is absolutely burning up
the vegetation in them.
The thermometer on Sunday and Mon
day registered l03 and 1O5, and yet we
are required to "keep COOL"
Last week Wise Bros. bought l3 bales
cotton from Mr.. G. NJ. Bowers at lO2 cts.
per pound at Mr.. BIS home.
Crops from all sections Of our town
ship are still reported good, though corn
begins to need rain, and so with red land
cotton.
Messrs. Wheeler s. Moseley's Touring
mills are now in good working order.
These mills have high reputation for
the superior quality Of flour which they
make.
Mr.. A. G. Wise, whose health has not
been favorable for some time, left here
yesterday Tuesday) for Glenn Springs.
We hope he will soon be restored to his
wonted health.
Mrs. Kate Schumpert left here on
Monday for months soiourn with her
relatives and friends 2t and near john
ston's. We will miss you greatly Miss"
Kate, and little Rubie, we will be lost
without her.
The Y. NJ. =. A. held its regular
monthly public meeting in Grace Church
on last Sunday evening. The attend
ance, as usual, was good, and the SER
vices of an interesting and instructive
character. The president, Mr.. A. Fl.
Kohn, conducted the services.
The Board of trustees Of Prosperity
High School has elected the same teach
ers for another year. This is the best
recommendation Prof. Scheetz and Miss
Carrie Aull could wish. 1t shows con-
clusively that they have given satisfac-
ton.
The Press and Reporters local is still
farming. He is about done digging oats.
He sent his little son to pull the suckers
from his corn few days ago; the little
fellow thinking his father intended him
to ''pull fodder" stripped the blades
from the main stalk very nicely. Roast
ing ears will be little scarce around
there.
Our friend, John Hawkins, left us on
Monday for the ''land of flowers" He
goes to Orlando to take charge OF the
local business Of a newspaper at that
place. We feel sure that his genial dis
position, gentlemanly manners anc
graceful flow of his pen, will gain fol
him many friends in his new field OF
labor. 1UBE.

EXCELSIOR NOTES.

Why are school commencements al
ways held at the close?
Mr.. j. F. Cromer, of Walton, spent
Saturday and Sunday in our community.
Tuesday was the longest day in this
year. "Sam" says two days were
united together.
Mr.. J. A. C. Kibler has been very
sick during the past week, but glad TO
state is able to be out again.
Died, in this community on last Sum
day evening, the infant child OF Mr.. and
Mrs. 4. NJ. Counts. The bereaved pa
rents have the sincere sympathies OF
this entire community.
We noticed one Of our farmers few
days ago going around his place with
cotton picking basket gathering up the
eggs from the hen nests. We haven't
heard whether he was successful in get
ting his basket full Or not, but, if so, we
would like very much to board with him
a few days. What say you Mr.
Mr.. J. NJ. Dean who is so we'll known
to our citizens moved into our com
munity last week and now occupies the
residence owned by Mr.. J. C. Counts
recently vacated by Mr.. J. D. Stone.
We learn that Mr.. Dean has charge Of a
section at Peaks on the G. & G. Rail-
road.
A great. many of the people in our
community went up to Newberry last
Wednesday to witness the commence
ment exercises of Newbcrry College.
We regret very much that we couldn't
also be present at these commencement
| exercises as all who attended from our
section report an interesting and en-
| joyable occasion. Last weeks HERALD
| AND News gave an interesting
accountof the School Commence
ments that have been held in
your town during the past two OF
three weeks. We are delighted to see
such an interest manifested in the line
of education during tile past few years
Rev. NJ. NJ. kinard, OF the Seminary,
after spending short while at home
went I'D to Walhalla on Saturday on
short visit returning home again or
Monday. Mr.. kinaru will 60 to Colum
bia on tomorrow where he will likely
remain fora while. We bespeak for hin
bright future.
Alma, little daughter OF Mr.. ant
Mrs. T. L. Wheeler showed US few
days ago silk scrap of her grandmothe'
Rikard's. wedding dress, also silk pal
of stockings that her grandmother wa
married in, this being about fifty year
ago. 1t seems that all the old peopl
have saved some part or parts OF thei
wedding garments, we guess, so as II
have something to look at when old t.
remind them of their young courtinl
days. How times have changed durin!

there will be in the next fifty years

Miss Mamie Henderson, of Columbia,
is visiting her cousin, Mrs. j. N. Bow

Our grapes have the dry rot. No
new grape wine this season from this
vineyard.
We are glad the young men OF New
berry again have brass band. Stick
to it and make it good one.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. F. Wright, of Tylers-
vile, Laurens County, were on a visit
last week to their relatives here.
A bright little girl living in NewberEy,
and who is hardly out OF her infancy,
since the school exhibition here calls
the church building the "'Elleeny op-
era house."
Two OF our enterprising youths are
raising the finest fancy poultry ever
seen here. Prosperity will have to
comb down little off her high roost,
s'Yube'' if she won't.
Helena has no village blacksmith, but
Mr.. James Rollerson, who lives in the
suburbs and has shop at Newberry, is
prepared to shoe every horse or mule
that travels the Helena road. Mule
shoes a speciality.
Mr.. Jas. F. kilgore is helping Mr..
Jesse Welch in the postoffice in the abb
sence Of the postmaster. Mr.. Kilgore
is good hand at whatever YOU put
him. And, too, he knows enough law
to hang out his own shingle.
Helena has number Of very black
black boys who can sing with gift, but
they can't beat the little very black
black boy who put his head into Mrs.
Mowers store door and sweatly war
bled, in accents as bright as his skin
was dark: ':What kin make me white
as snow?"
II the rains don't soon come Well be

worth jam. This is jar to the e1-
pectations Of many fond housekeeper
on the European plan.
Can now account for the beautiful
red sunsets viewed from this place.
The workmen engaged in removing the
brick from the ruins of the late cal
shops make clouds Of dust. As the REQ
dust floats out towards the wild west il
is penetrated by the suns rays, which
''paint the horizon bright vermilion

Pastor Elected.

=
At meeting of the congregation OF the
Newberry Lutheran Church, held on last
Sunday, q unanimous call. Was ex-
tended Rev. J. E. Bcrley to serve the
church as pastor. It is not known, OF
course, whether Mr.. Berley will accept,
but it is hoped that he will. Mr.. Berley
is now serving several congregations IN
Lexington County. He is a native
Newberry man, a young man and q
good preacher, and we believe the Lu-
theran Church at this place will be for
tunate to secure his services.
Mr.. q. F. Shealy, who preached last
Sunday, and now theological student
at the Seminary here, was invited to
preach Tor the congregation until pas
tor could be secured.
Mr.. Il. F. Sheely has accepted the
call to serve the Lutheran church for the
next three months, and there will be
preaching by him every Sunday morn
ing regularly hereafter.
